I’ve
been
hearing
about
SV
since
before
I
ever
moved
to
Chicago.
My
veggie
sis
has
been
raving
about
it
for
years.
We
finally
made
a
sister
date
and
I
saw
the
light.
The
place
was
pretty
busy
for
a
3pm
weekday
but
we
were
seated
immediately.
I
remember
plush
chairs
and
vintage
decor,
like
this
place
used
to
be
used
as
a
fancy
dinner
spot.
My
sis
orders
something
so
boring,
I
don’t
remember.
For
me,
the
whole
point
of
paying
$10+
for
a
veggie
item
is
because
it’s
something
I
could
never
possibly
cook
on
my
own.
Why
bother
with
a
salad?
Yolo!
Food
comes
out
and
from
the
first
bite,
I’m
in
heaven.
I
have
to
seriously
ask
the
waitress
if
she
didn’t
mess
up
the
order
and
slip
some
meat
in
this.
She
laughs
and
says
nope.The
chik’n
isn’t
rubbery
or
jerky-tough.
It’s
perfect.
Sauces
are
not
squeezed
from
a
bottle
but
homemade.
I’m
in
love.
I
make
sure
to
only
eat
half
so
I
can
save
it
for
later.
I
took
it
to
my
bf
at
the
time
and
even
he
was
like
‘Whoa!
Is
this
veggie?’
I’ve
made
a
big
effort
to
visit
all
the
veggie
spots
in
town:
the
3
Karyn’s
(Green
is
best),
Handlebar,
Chicago
Diner,
Native
Foods,
etc.
None
of
them
compare
to
SV!
Thankfully
they
sell
a
lot
of
their
wraps
and
side
dishes
to
Whole
Foods,
so
I
keep
my
addiction
strong
that
way.
This
place
is
a
little
far
from
me
but
if
I
have
to
take
3
buses
in
the
snow,
I
will
be
back!!!

Vegetarians
and
vegans,
unite!
Soul
Vegetarian
is
a
restaurant
free
from
the
worry
of
your
food
being
cooked
in
beef
fat
or
fish
sauce
or
chicken
stock!
And
it’s
so
damned
GOOD,
too!
Now,
at
around
3pm
on
a
Thursday,
the
restaurant
was
bustling,
so
you
know
that
you’ve
found
a
real
gem
of
a
place
to
eat.
I
ordered
the
Veggie
Gyros
and
my
god,
were
they
delicious:
the
perfect
texture
with
the
perfect
seasoning,
the
pita
bread
thin
and
not
too
heavy.
And
the
fries
that
accompanied
it
were
crispy
and
tasty
too.
As
my
friend
and
I
were
digging
in,
a
dapper
gentleman
came
to
our
table
to
ask
us
how
we
were
enjoying
our
meal.
Remember
how
I
said
the
restaurant
was
busy?
This
is
clearly
an
example
of
why
that
is.
If
an
establishment
cares
about
what
they’re
serving
you
and
how
you
like
it,
well,
instant
return
visit
for
sure!

Very
delicious!!
I
am
not
a
vegetarian,
but
my
best
friend
is.
I
was
so
surprised
at
the
plethora
of
menu
items
and
how
delicious
the
food
was!
I
would
definitely
visit
this
place
again.
I
would
recommend
the
jerkfu!

oul
Veg
is
one
of
my
favorite
restaurants
in
the
world,
without
question.
Living
on
the
South
Side
for
almost
8
years
and
being
a
vegetarian
the
whole
time,
I
used
to
come
to
Soul
Veg
as
often
as
possible.
All
of
the
food
is
delicious,
and
has
given
me
lots
of
ideas
for
making
recipes
in
my
own
kitchen.
Sure,
most
of
it
is
not
exactly
healthy,
even
if
it
is
vegan,
since
it’s
heavy
on
the
deep
fry,
but
most
soul
food
isn’t
super
healthy
anyway.
